January 2011
Maybe I’m 30 days late but I don’t need a January first. I resolve to be more confident. About the way I look. About my choices. About my relationships. About my abilities. Everything. Because I’ve earned it and because I want it and because it’s the only thing standing in the way.
Maybe for once I don’t want to be respectable. Maybe for once I want to break the rules just for the hell of it.
At first I thought she was kidding. But no, my...
Cassie is like Phoebe. Chris is like Joey. Michelle is like Rachel. Jal is like Monica. Sid is like Chandler. Anwar is like Ross.
I wish you wanted to come back. I wish I wasn't...
My mom forwarded this in an email to me....
These are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and published by court reporters that had the torment of staying calm while the exchanges were taking place. ATTORNEY: What was the first thing your husband said to you that morning? WITNESS: He said, ‘Where am I, Cathy?’ ATTORNEY: And why did that...
Tomorrow I'm donating blood with sophie
I really hope I can and they don’t say like “Sorry your iron levels are .2 too low” or some shit.
I’m also really glad to go with her. I think it will be exciting
When I was four
My family made a tree house in our backyard.
Wishes
Every time I go through a tunnel
And hold my breath and close my eyes
Or watch the fragments of a dandelion float
To the corners of the earth
Each 11:11 I catch, and every eyelash I let go of
I wish for the same thing.
It’s like a broken record in my head, but I never get sick of it.
I see the tunnel pass, but it doesn’t register.
The flecks of flower drift away but I am...
When I was Three
My best friend’s name was Christina. My room had a direct door leading to the kitchen, and when we played hide and seek, we would start in my room and sneak into the kitchen and go in circles.
(me at age 3. Obvi.)
And I was engaged to Reuben Raff. We would go for walks and hold hands and climb on the play structure and we said we’d get married when we were older.
And then fourteen...

And we’d swim the seas, and the oceans too
Just hoping to catch that deep clear blue
A painted scene can demonstrate
But cannot compare to what the mind creates
For in our minds we act as kings
And have power to paint over everything

And we’d swim the seas, and the oceans too
Just hoping to catch that deep clear blue
A painted scene can demonstrate
But cannot compare to what the mind creates
For in our minds we act as kings
And have power to paint over everything

You know that feeling when you are sure you forgot...
An Atheist Professor of Philosophy was speaking to...
Professor: You are a Christian, aren’t you, son?
Student: Yes, sir.
Professor: So, you believe in God?
Student: Absolutely, sir.
Professor: Is God good?
Student: Sure.
Professor: My brother died of cancer, even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn’t. How is God good, then? Hmm?
(Student was silent)
Professor: You can’t answer, can you? Let’s start again, young fella. Is God good?
Student: Yes.
Professor: Is Satan good?
Student: No.
Professor: Where does Satan come from?
Student: From.. God.
Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student: Yes.
Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Student: Yes.
Professor: So who created evil?
(Student didn’t answer)
Professor: Is there sickness? Immortality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?
Student: Yes, sir.
Professor: So, who created them?
(Student had no answer)
Professor: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son.. have you ever seen God?
Student: No, sir.
Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your God.
Student: No, sir.
Professor: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God, for that matter?
Student: No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.
Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student: Yes.
Professor: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, Science says your God doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student: Nothing. I only have my Faith.
Professor: Yes, Faith. And that is the problem Science has.
Student: Professor, is there such a thing as Heat?
Professor: Yes.
Student: And is there such a thing as Cold?
Professor: Yes.
Student: No, sir, there isn’t.
(The Lecture Theatre became very quiet with this turn of events)
Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of Heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
(There was a pon-drop silence in the Lecture Theatre)
Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?
Student: You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have Low Light, Normal Light, Bright Light, Flashing Light… But if you have No Light constantly, you have nothing and it’s called Darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, You would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?
Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student: Sir, my point is, your Philosophical Premise is flawed.
Professor: Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student: Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality. You argue there is Life and then there is Death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life, just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Professor: If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process, yes of course, I do.
Student: Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going)
Student: Since no one has ever observed the Process of Evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a Scientist but a Preacher?
(The class was in uproar)
Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?
(The class broke out into laughter)
Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? .. No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable and Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures?
(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable)
Professor: I guess you’ll have to take them on Faith, son.
Student: That is it, sir.. exactly! The link between man and God is Faith. That is all that keeps things alive and moving!

That student was Albert Einstein.
Brilliant.
normally I have athiest solidarity but he sure knew how to argue a point, and I think that deserves a fair amount of credit.
How to suck at facebook.
